Illumination Entertainment’s Chris Meledandri, and Audrey Geisel will ... begin developing a 3D CG-animated feature based on The Cat in the Hat. Rob Lieber has just been set to write the script. Meledandri will produce and Geisel will be executive producer. ...

Meledandri has overseen Horton, The Lorax, and now The Cat in the Hat. Illumination Entertainment knows when it's on to a good thing.

Added to which, IE doesn't spend $100 million in development costs! Doesn't have a large bureaucracy! What are they thinking!?

jester says: And I wish the creators should be more involved on the adaptions of their work. If their so upset on how the movie it turned out, then why do they even bother making it. Talk about sellout.

anon 7:57, you realize the actual creator of these works, Ted Geisel, has been dead for years, right? The stuff he was personally involved with - the TV cartoons - tended to be head-over-heels better than the recent movies.

It's a fact indeed! Anything made after his death just never sat right with me at all.
